Coconut Syrup

Bare will me while I still have not found my camera case people. Guess it's time to go buy a new adaptor right? And I promise I will do just that, soon, I promise. Then I will share with you a very long post of pictures. Until then I have a solution of what to do with a half a can of coconut milk. You make coconut syrup. This stuff is so good. I want to put it on some pecan crusted fench toast..you with me on that one?

Coconut Syrup

1 13.5 ounce light coconut milk
2 T cornstarch
1/2 C sugar
2 C cornsyrup(you can just make a simple syrup if you don't have this on hand)
1/2 flaked coconut

Mix coconut milk and cornstarch until smooth. Add sugar cornsyrup and coconut. Mix and heat until it comes to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and serve cold. This is great for breakfast foods and desserts.


**Simple syrup=equal parts water and sugar boiled until sugar is dissolved.

Syrup

If any of you have been to Magelby's Fresh in Utah you know this syrup. It is so so yummy. So easy to make as well. The second one is just a simple strawberry syrup. It's easy and quite tasty.

Buttermilk Syrup

1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk,

1/2 cup butter

2 tablespoons corn syrup

1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla

Place first five ingredients in large saucepan. bring to boil and cook for 7 minutes, or until it just starts to turn a carmel color. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Serve warm.

*Make sure you stir every few minutes to prevent scorching and use a BIG pan. The buttermilk is an acid and the baking soda is a base...you do the math. Sixth grade volcano science project is the outcome in a small pan. With a much bigger mess.

Strawberry Syrup:

2 C strawberries, puried and strained
1 C sugar(2 C if you like is sweet)
¼ C water
½ tsp lemon juice

Add everything to a pot. Boil for five minutes, stirring occassionally. Skim the top and serve over pancakes or waffles.
